Case Study: Woodland Hills School District improves security and automates third-party patching with Action1

Woodland Hills School District Automates Third-Party Patching with Action1 and Improves Security

Woodland Hills School District, a K-12 education organization serving about 3,500 students in North Braddock, PA, struggled to keep endpoints secure with SCCM. While SCCM handled Windows updates, it could not patch third-party applications and was also limited for off-site devices, creating security risks after a prior ransomware incident and making remote support difficult for a small IT team.

The district chose Action1 to replace SCCM for broader patch management and remote support. With Action1’s cloud-native patching and built-in remote desktop, the IT team automated third-party and OS updates, gained real-time visibility into vulnerabilities, and reduced remote troubleshooting time from 40 minutes to 2 minutes. Action1 helped improve security, reduce ransomware risk, and eliminate the need for separate remote support software.
